Garmenting growth, margin expansion anchor Raymond Lifestyle amid Q1,FY27 net loss

Raymond Lifestyle reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 22.59 crore for Q1 FY27, widening from Rs 19.82 crore in the corresponding prior-year period. Despite the bottom-line pressure driven by transition overheads and retail network expansion costs, revenue from operations grew 5.9 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 1,516 crore, while total operating EBITDA increasing 11 per cent to Rs 135 crore.

Operational growth was spearheaded by a 50 per cent revenue growth in the garmenting division to Rs 296 crore, buoyed by US-India tariff rationalization and expanding international order books. Conversely, Branded Textile revenue eased marginally to Rs 684 crore due to a high base effect.

Supply chain optimization and balance sheet resilience

To safeguard margins against channel mix fluctuations, the company improved its net working capital cycle down to 75 days from 90 days a year ago, maintaining a net cash surplus of Rs 154 crore. Building on our solid foundation from FY26, Q1 FY27 has delivered steady performance marked by strong international traction and sustained domestic demand, stated Satyaki Ghosh, Whole-Time Director and CEO. In a representative case study, double-digit growth in casual apparel across large-format stores and digital channels helped absorb inflationary pressures, positioning the brand to capture market share during upcoming festive retail cycles.

Operating brands like Park Avenue and Ethnix across India and global markets, it targets double-digit retail expansion.
